Ralf,
I don't change the names of the files downloaded by the camera, ever.
I do change the names of files I work on, but I leave a piece of the
original filename in them so that I can always find the original RAW
file.
The only reason I don't keep the filename intact is that I have two
Pentax cameras, and I don't want to end up with two different pictures
having the same filename. So I change the letters but not the numbers on
all my camera filenames. If they come from the Optio, they get changed
from IMGP1234.jpg to OPT11234.jpg (the Optio having now gone over 10K
images) and the *istD files are changed from IMGP4321.jpg (or .pef,
whatever) to ISTD4321.jpg
and a big thanks to whoever posted here some time ago as to the
existence of Oscar's Renamer, which is what I usually use to achieve
this! Though ACDSee will do it too.
